Beautiful day at the Berry

Great report and pics Matt, looks like your daughter had a good day and good for you, helping out a fellow fisherman. Did you by chance ask that guy how old his snow dog was? Just doesn't seem that they have been around for that long, so it makes me wonder if they are very dependable, as they get older

His was home built and it was a clean build. He had every spare part to fix it on the fly but didn't anticipate a jack shaft failure. Said he was going to add am extra to the parts bag

I had to look up what a jack shaft was, it kind of looks like a universal joint, is that correct? If he used a new one when he built it, you would think it would last a number of years but maybe it wasn't a new part .

I believe your correct. Crucial part of the drive train for sure. Appeared to be the part connected to the smaller drive gear off of the motor. Carrying 2 knowing that now might be beneficial for dog owners. Homemade or purchased.
